Abstract

The electrophilic fluorination-nucleophilic addition reaction with Selectfluor-type reagents upon glycals has been studied and optimized. This reaction leads to selective fluorination at the 2-position with concomitant nucleophilic addition to the anomeric center. To understand the stereochemical outcome of this process, a mechanistic study has led to the discovery that, in the fucose series, Selectfluor adds specifically in a syn manner, yielding a 1-[TEDA ...
